Otjozondu Mining Project
• 4 Exploration Licenses, 1 Mining License;
• Manganese ore outcrops at surface;
• JORC 2004 resource 15.0Mt at 22.5% Mn using a bottom cut of 15% - 13% of strike explored;
• Significant exploration upside;
• Purity ML’s offer 3 more short term mining opportunities;
• Future underground potential for DSO in high grade areas;
• Currently mining at Borland ( 3.9mt @ 21.3%) processing through 60tph jig plant at Labusrus site;
• Producing app. 5,000 tpm lumpy product at 32-38% selling into China;
• Product exported by containerized sea freight;
• Walvis Bay Port is 450km from mine site; and
• 150km from mine to rail head at Okahandja, 300km by rail to port.
Otjozondu, Marketing
• Recent pricing has been stable and at levels not seen for 3 years and the outlook is positive.
• Namibian product streams are suited to changing market demand particularly in high silica product.
• Product is sold into China under a contract sales and marketing agreement with Gunvor.
• Government royalty is 3%.
• Containerised shipping is cheap - shipping in bulk is similar in price but not volume constrained.
• Namibian ore attracts a premium because of its metallurgy – high silica, Fe and low contaminant.
• The market is in demand and there is scope to value add and deliver high purity material into the battery markets.

Otjozondu, Exploration Potential
10
Otjo Manganese Field extends over 144 km of strike…in southern portion
- Resource extension drilling (12,000m) completed in November, 2012
- Increased (Inf+Ind) JORC 2004 mineral resource to 15Mt @ 22.5% Mn1
- Otjo Mn field extends > 144 line km of strike of the mapped “Roper” line for southern portion only
- Strong (air) magnetic trend in north, interpreted to be similar target
- Current resource1 is estimated from only 13% of fields strike length
- The Otjo Project has the potential to become a globally significant, open pit manganese resource
